L O L A (COMPLETED ✔️)

43 // Day 6,269

Lola's mouth is moving rapidly but I'm not hearing anything

I smile and nod my head when appropriate but my mind and body are elsewhere

I wish I'd known my mum

That's all she kept saying and now the old feelings are returning with strife

Cutting through my body cleanly with a hot acidic knife

"Dad you're not listening to me!" Lola cries pushing me on the arm

"Sorry what were you saying?" I ask casually raising my eyebrow

"Never mind," she says folding her arms across her chest

"Lo-," I begin reaching out to touch her but she jerks away

"You know I don't like you doing that," I hiss

Lola places her green vivid eyes on my face with contempt and suspicion

"Why? Why don't you like me doing that dad? Are you afraid I'm going to push you away and never come back? Is that it?" Lola spits her voice low and acidic

My gaze meets hers and I don't break away

Finally she lets her eyes drop and sighs dropping her arms to the side

"Lo," I say as she gets up to leave

"You smother me so much I feel like I can't breath" she states quietly, her voice hopeless and despondent

My heart shatters and crumbles to the floor in a mess
